[Verse 1] I want the child at the bus stop And the tired one counting their change To know they are held without earning it To ask why the clouds rearrange I want us to meet one another With patience before we decide To leave a small kindness behind us Like bread for the next one in line [Pre-Chorus] I know, I know, it sounds too wide A wish no map can make come true But every decent thing we build Begins with what we mean to do [Chorus] Push toward a world where everybody is loved Where we stay curious, where we choose to be kind Maybe the whole wide promise is more than we can do But we can make it truer, one small act at a time Keep the ideal, keep it in sight It won't become real if we don't reach for it [Verse 2] Ask the neighbor what they remember Hear the answer all the way through Let a stranger keep their dignity When it's easier not to No single hand can mend the whole thing No perfect plan can make us new But the better world is a direction And the next step belongs to you [Bridge] Not a guarantee, not a finish line Just a measure for the choices we make If we name what we hope to become We can turn a little toward that place [Final Chorus] Push toward a world where everybody is loved Where we stay curious, where we choose to be kind Maybe the whole wide promise is more than we can do But we can make it truer, one small act at a time Keep the ideal, keep it in sight It won't become real if we don't reach for it [Outro] One question asked, one hand held out One gentler choice before we go The dream is bigger than our reach Still, every step can make it so
